If you've seen the footage, it is very easy to understand why people are absolutely aghast at this shooting.

From where I'm sitting, the shooting is completely unjustified.

The man was disarmed and yes, he was resisting, which for my money is absolutely lunatic behavior.

However, shooting him full stop is horrific, but shooting him in the back is ghoulish.

It is completely unforgivable.

But as with so many things, as more and more detailed analysis kept coming out over the weekend, after the ridiculous claims that he was wielding a weapon, that he was aggressively threatening ICE agents with a gun, as all of that evaporated, a new narrative began to gain traction, namely that the gun that was removed from Preti allegedly misfired as the ICE agent whisked it away.

And it was the sound of the first shot that made the ice officer shoot Preti thinking he had a gun and was firing.

Now, if you've seen the video, given how clumsy, jittery and untrained the whole debacle looked, I would not be surprised if that's what happened.

That doesn't mean that this is OK.

It just means that the horrific, tragic sequence of events may have included the misfiring of the gun.

Now, if you watch the video in slow motion, it really does look like the gun may have accidentally discharged.

Additionally, there are unverified reports that the gun was a Sig Sauer, a gun with multiple lawsuits alleging that it misfired.

Now, at this point, I know the FBI has the gun in custody, so that might have been verified at this point.

We'll have to look that up.

But apparently, despite the Sig Sauer themselves, the company,

denying that the gun has any issues.

It is an open secret, apparently, in the gun community that that particular gun will discharge without the trigger being pulled.

Obviously very rare, but seems to happen.

Now, regardless of whether the shooting ends up being incompetence or malice, it's shaping up to be the spark that lights all of the dynamite bundled up in Minnesota.

And I am expecting things to continue to escalate from here, especially all the things that we've seen with the coordination, the instruction manuals on how to track and disrupt ice, all of the signal groups that were infiltrated.
